Just keep in mind, people will do this to Witcher 3 and CP2077, too, and then the shoe will be very much on the other foot.
Oh yes, they definitely will.
But from the point where I am standing, it doesn't really matter. Witcher 3 and CP2077 are games I have an active interest in and I will be judging them by their own merits regardless of where the shoe is, and it can well end up in either foot in the end.
DAI was just a thing I was "passing by", so to speak. Had I been actually interested beyond seeing if the tactical camera works and if they have managed to cobble up something at least semi-interesting, I would've tried it myself regardless of the vitriol.
Ah, in any case - the way I see it - nothing was lost.
I would say, though, that the prejudices people had were certainly justified if they were based on previous experiences with Bioware. It's an unfortuante personal trait if one can't look past them should they be noticed as false.
